4:06 am
controversial high profile police shootings. now, though, city officials say the reforms have paid off, numbers reported by san francisco police still show racial disparities in police use of force. >> the vallejo police department and the california justice department reached a deal on how to move forward on police reforms. the doj first opened an investigation into the department in june of 2020, just days after an officer shot and killed sean monterrosa. now, as part of a settlement agreement, the city of vallejo and its police force will take new action led by an independent evaluator and overseen by the doj to address a pattern of, quote, unconstitutional conduct. now, some of the reforms include addressing unreasonable force by holding officers and supervisors accountable, conducting an audit whenever an officer points a gun at a member of the public, promoting and strengthening partnerships in the community and ensuring that all stops,

4:09 am
area in the bay with cases since december, neighboring marin county has reported around 100 cases of whooping cough, most of them among students at tamalpais high in mill valley. >> i think the fact that the marin outbreak, there's been that many cases and it's still ongoing, i think maybe there may have been a link for the moment. >> doctor gandhi says the only age group people should be truly concerned about are newborns. >> they don't have the immunity when they're first born, and they can get really sick from pertussis. >> zac sos ktvu fox two news isaac. >> thank you. time is 408. the cdc urging parents make sure your kids are vaccinated against the measles. the number of cases keeps rising at an alarming rate across the country. the cdc issued a new report showing there have been at least 113 measles cases in the country so far this year. that's almost double the number for all of last year. and the experts say measles can be very dangerous for children for every thousand

4:11 am
but, you know, it's all to help prevent crowding. there all right. i think it should be pretty nice. i don't know, it might be raining in yosemite this weekend. tomorrow. >> tomorrow will be right. not today though. all right. our system is on the way, and it's going to impact us in a big way here. now, today is that tweener day. transition day. not a lot of fog yet, but a pretty impressive upper low for mid-april coming in. you can see it right there. circulations right there. and it's going to come down here and then do this on saturday. and temps will drop into the 50s. so i mean for this time of year usually i'm not talking about this, but this year we are increasing clouds will be on the on the way later here. but we start off mostly clear this morning 40s 50s on the temps and not much of a breeze yet, but it is showing signs of being more onshore 40s to the north as well. 40s, 50s. so i think most locations will be pretty close oakland, west, concord west, southwest, fairfield west southwest. that's much different than we saw the last three days when there was no wind, or it was east or
4:12 am
northeast 30s up in the mountains, 42 arcata, 56 down in san diego and 62 in las vegas. palm springs, a balmy 71. so this system is going to impact us today. and then late, late tonight, maybe some drizzle more likely overnight. saturday morning starts. while most of you are getting your beauty sleep. and then look at this sweeping through by 6 a.m. the rain has already arrived and some impressive totals for this system. one inch amounts. if santa rosa gets one, that's two in parts of the russian river. no doubt about it. santa cruz, ben lomond, also over an inch and a quarter and snow in the mountains a little bit more. this looks like more of a rain event than it does a snow event, but they'll get some out of it. but for to see, you know, it's not just a 10th of an inch or a quarter of an inch. we're looking for a half inch to maybe two. friday changes, some morning fog, sun in the morning, then clouds turning cloudy. cooler. the breeze will pick up as well and highs come tumbling down. 60s on a lot of the temps. >> thank you steve a landmark vote in oakland as officials move forward with changing the name of the airport. why some

oj simpson. his family says he died on wednesday following a battle with prostate cancer. he was 76 years old. he's a bay area native, one of the greatest running backs in nfl history. but his incredible accomplishments on the football field were certainly overshadowed when he went on trial for the murders of his ex-wife, nicole brown simpson and her friend ron goldman. >> well, former ktvu reporter ted rowlands was among the hundreds of journalists who covered the o.j. trial in the
4:16 am
mid 1990s. roland says the so-called trial of the century had a lasting impact on the way the media covers court cases. >> i think that the that the o.j. simpson case paved the way for so many cameras and so many different courtrooms around this country, and it's a good thing overall because it gives the system a test for lay people that are that have the time to actually test it and watch it. >> now, about 100 million people around the world watch the live tv coverage of simpson's acquittal ir of 1995. >> o.j. simpson was born and raised in san francisco, became one of the city's best known young football stars in the 1960s. >> ktvu crystal bailey looks back at simpson's strong ties to the bay area. >> it was 1947, and the poor neighborhood on potrero hill, where orenthal james simpson was born and raised. he spent his days developing his talent, playing sports at the local rec center, where a faded mural of

4:18 am
producing on the field, you might say he was still scoring with the fans. >> but in the 90s, the nfl mvp and tv star's notoriety became tied to a tragedy. >> o.j. didn't live just one life. he lived to the second life that began with the murder trial that changed everything. that's what makes his life in the second half such a greek tragedy, because he had risen to such a high level as a performer and as an individual and then came crashing down. >> despite his polarizing reputation, policy says the board never considered removing him from the hall of fame if he qualified for induction. >> if later in life he has some difficult times and later in life he does some difficult things, even bad things, that doesn't say he didn't achieve what the goal of the organization is to reflect. >> policy also says that he

4:20 am
rosa, no doubt about it. 40s and 50s on the temps and we will see probably not much change on these. i don't think they're going to drop too much here. maybe a little bit more. slight onshore breeze. not a big one, but it's more onshore. the first we've seen since monday, i believe, or tuesday 30s up in the mountains, 40s, 50s to 60s for everywhere else here, that's the upper low. you can see it now. it's going to hang out. it's going to come down and do this and then end up over us. and it's going to drop temperatures dramatically. tomorrow will be highs in the 50s. and this is not just showers. this is not just a little bit of rain. this looks like pretty good rain for this look at that. forecast models have definitely trended wetter on this system. not only here not not so much in the mountains. i mean but they'll get some snow up there. but i would prepare for rain to move in on saturday. today though, some morning fog otherwise increasing clouds. the breeze picks up in cooler. >> all right steve thank you. our time is now 420 black maternal health week is kicking off. we'll tell you how a south

4:39 am
forecast now. this is really not a big sierra snow producer. they'll get some up there. but this is more of a rain event for us. so i would plan on it some morning fog, sun, then increasing clouds, increasing clouds. this afternoon cooler. the breeze will pick up highs 5060 and a couple of low 70s. >> thank you steve. a warning from firefighters about the russian river after a swimmer went missing. i'll tell you what's new about the search for the missing swimmer. that will resume this morning. >> and concerns are growing about a rare mosquito spotted in santa clara county . we'll tell you about

5:02 am
on its side, all of 880 southbound is closed. traffic is getting off southbound at winton avenue. and the good news is you can get on and get off and avoid this area. so it happened in a good spot, but it's going to take a long time and it's certainly going to affect the commute. you can see that blinking triangle right there. that is the issue right now. james torres is 880 southbound right now, and we hope to have a live, shot from there. and with all the information coming up shortly from james checking the rest of your commute, not too far from there is san mateo bridge. traffic is moving, pretty well there on a friday. and if you're heading to san francisco, easy breezy, but we will keep you updated on that situation. on 880 southbound, the entire southbound lanes closed right now, let's look at traffic. 502 your time. let's go back to the desk. >> okay, frank. thank you. well, a deadly shooting in oakland being investigated now by

5:16 am
great here in the bay area, because oj simpson was born and raised in san francisco. he spent his childhood and teenage years developing his football talents at the rec center in the city's potrero hill neighborhood. he then went on to become a football superstar at san francisco's galileo high school and city college. simpson wore the number 32 during his days in san francisco. that's the same number he wore during his record breaking career with the buffalo bills. >> knew oj simpson in the 70s as one of the most dynamic athletes in america, and he certainly was, you know, at the top, top of the list for the nfl. >> simpson played his final two seasons with the san francisco 49ers in the late 1970s, the environmental protection agency is fining five east bay cities and a local water agency with more than $300,000 for sewage violation penalties. now, east
5:17 am
bay mud and six east bay cities are accused of not doing enough to prevent sewer overflow from reaching the bay. most of that money comes from oakland. it's facing 67 violations and fines of $278,000. berkeley albany, piedmont and alameda were also fined. and all right back over to steve paulson. when is that rain moving in? >> not till tomorrow. not till tomorrow morning, yes. we'll take a look at this system that's dropping in. and it still has a ways to go. i mean, it's pretty far offshore. it'll probably slow down a little bit. there's your low, but it's going to do this and eventually just swing right towards us here. but not until saturday. so today is the leading edge. the fog is increasing pretty rapidly here, especially south of san francisco. so santa rosa, redwood city, walnut creek, san jose, instead of 70s and 80s, it's 60s and 70s, and tomorrow it will be 50s. pretty good rain being advertised here by some of the forecast models. i'm using the canadian model. it's called the gem. it's pretty good. it's been really good on on about 24
5:18 am
and 48 hour total. look at that inch plus for many fairfield, napa, oakland. also san rafael, santa rosa and more than that for ben lowman and santa cruz. so i tend to favor this model usually it's been pretty good up in the mountains, big change here. whiplash as you say here. thursday. sunny, warm weekend. snow likely. maybe some rain as well. lower elevations, cooler though the wind will crank up and highs will only be in the 40s. so we get i mean, the fog doesn't show up yet. it will about an hour or two, but we get the low clouds, some sun in the morning, but then increasing clouds, 40s and 50s. on the temps. there's your onshore breeze turning southerly, southwesterly or westerly component. that's a big change from the last three days when it was more northerly or easterly. pretty good little system for mid-april. so friday changes equal cooler for sure. some sun increasing clouds, but the main low will not arrive until saturday saturday afternoon, so turning cloudy. the wind picks up possible thunderstorms. you get a cold core low over us this time of year and the days are longer, so it would not take much. now this is more about, i think, rain than sierra snow,
5:19 am
but there will be some up there. more likely it will be saturday evening. saturday night into early sunday. >> you guys okay, steve? thank you. time now. 518 black maternal health week is kicking off. we tell you how south bay medical community is working with expectant mothers and house speaker mike johnson fighting to keep his job. we'll tell you how he hopes a m ting it do ( ♪ ) you made a cow! actually it's a piggy bank. my inspiration to start saving. how about a more solid way to save? i'm listening. well, bmo helps get your savings habit into shape with a cash reward, every month you save. both: cash reward? and there's a cash bonus when you open a new checking account to get you started.

5:31 am
not arriving until saturday evening or even saturday night. sunday. this is a really cold system for this time of year. so look for some sun in the morning. but it's a cool change, that's for sure. compared to what we had the last couple of days. the breeze will pick up, clouds will be on the move, but temperatures are on their way down 60s to near 70. all right, frank's here. unfortunately it is not friday light. we have 218 80 hayward. yeah 880 had issues yesterday on that off ramp and again today this one a lot bigger 880 southbound 982 west for those commuters heading over the peninsula. >> big rig on its side. it's blocking all the southbound lanes. and i'm told traffic is a mess. southbound 880. take a look. there it is. that's the culprit right there. obviously a major thoroughfare heading south towards san jose. this is causing a huge backup chp giving us that photo out of their hayward office center cut. you can see the triangle blinking away there at 880 traffic currently being diverted at winton. and that's prior to the
5:32 am
crash. so cars are able to get off southbound and get back on the highway and bypass the accident. but as you can imagine, you can see the red flaring out of the hayward side there. traffic is a mess. and let's talk to a gentleman that just went through it. james torres joins us live on the telephone. he's in route to that scene. james what's it been like? >> oh, boy. just went through it. i think we're still making our way over. and as you can imagine, pretty hard to get as close as we can because, you know, of course, they're just so many more cars in front of us, at the time that we've gotten here. but, yeah. 880 moving along very slowly this morning. and if you learned any lesson from yesterday, it certainly don't take for granted how quickly your commute could be at this time of day, because really, anything can change in an instant. that's what we're hearing from chp. this morning. we saw the images of the big rig turned over. there might be some concerns that the that the truck itself might have swiped a couple cars, we're still working to find out if there are any
5:33 am
injuries as a result of this. i know the driver is still, cooperating with the officials on the scene here, trying their absolute best to try to get this cleared as quickly as possible. but don't expect that to be anytime soon. we know caltrans still making their way out to the scene, and that might take a little bit to do there. they did call in some tow trucks to get out here as well, but again, that will take a little bit to get on there as well. and then the actual process of uprighting, those trailers and then getting them removed and then cleaning up the roadway to make it safe enough for cars to pass through. i mean, we're talking a couple hours that we would expect that 880 will be shut down, this morning, of course, heading into the peak of friday traffic. of course, it's something we're going to keep our eye on, we'll give you those updates as soon as we got them. but as of right now, 880 southbound and shut down at the moment. we'll let you know when that changes. >> james, i know you left a little before the 5:00 hour. you've been on the road for a good half hour. how far away are
5:34 am
you from the scene? >> i think we're about, a quarter of a mile, you know, we. i got pretty close to that, whitten exit here. you're already seeing it, too, by the way. on the on the marquee on each of those signs. those count caltrans signs that are will immediately tell you, hey, there's an accident. head here. try to exit as soon as you can. take some alternatives. because this is going to be something that's going to cause some trouble for a long time. >> yeah, i know those big rigs. each weighs over 16,000 pounds. we don't know if they're carrying anything. they might have to offload that as well. all right. james torres in route. he's on highway 880 about a quarter mile from the scene. and we will touch base with you in a little bit slow going if you can find an alternate route. although they are diverting traffic off the highway right now at whitton, but it's going to take a long time if you're southbound on 880. that's the latest in the traffic center time now. 534 pam. we'll send it back to you. >> okay. thank you. frank. the contra costa district attorney's office has charged a man accused
5:35 am
of sexually assaulting a woman in concord. authorities say 40 year old larry ridge junior pushed a woman to the ground and sexually assaulted her monday on a trail near the north concord bart station. the da's office says the attacker took her cell phone and wallet. a witness helped the victim call 911, and concord police made the arrest shortly after that. >> our time is now 530 for charges of hate crimes have been filed against a man who's accused of vandalizing a mosque in san francisco. surveillance video from last week shows a man using a skateboard to smash the windows of a mosque on sutter street. he also reportedly made islamophobic threats. now, the police say they were called wednesday night and told that the same man was back there at the mosque. that's when police arrested 35 year old robert gray, who is scheduled to be arraigned today. >> mortgage rates are creeping back up again. the average 30 year mortgage rate is now 6.88 this week. that's according to freddie mac. the inflation data
5:36 am
we received this week indicates the federal reserve will not cut interest rates any time soon. perhaps not at all. this year, and that could force potential home buyers out of the market. >> our time is 535. another san francisco business closing its doors for good petite cran, the casual restaurant of the three michelin starred rated atelier crenn, opened in 2015. it's known for serving breton style cuisine. it's taking reservations. beginning today at noon for the final tables. before that restaurant closes for good in september. a new food hall between fifth and sixth streets on market street opened up right next to the new ikea. >> it is sally hall takes up two floors, five restaurants that are known around the bay area. city leaders say this new development could help this part of market street. >> we're really hoping that we can complement market street right now, so there are some
5:37 am
businesses that are leaving. from my understanding, however, we have so many other businesses around here that we're actually working together with to make sure that we can bring people into the city and enjoying the space. >> the space is open wednesday through sunday. >> all right. our time is 536. governor newsom asking for a federal emergency declaration after the cancellation of california's salmon season. the decision was made wednesday by the pacific fishery management council because of the continued low numbers of chinook salmon. the governor says the emergency request will help bring financial support to the affected fishing communities. now, local salmon fishermen blame the state for what they call irresponsible water policies. >> we're fighting for these fish . we're making hard sacrifices for the next generation of fish, and we're making the hard decisions about the harvest. now we need the california water managers to make some sacrifices on their end. they need to make some hard decisions about saving these fish as well. >> now, the governor's office
5:38 am
says it has set aside $800 million over the last three years to restore the habitat, increase the water flows and remove dams that were preventing the fish from getting back to their native rivers. >> the port of oakland has voted to approve the name change for the city's airport. >> enthusiastically, i seven eyes. >> the motion carries. >> thank you. >> the ports board of commissioners unanimously voted to move ahead with the plan to rebrand oakland international airport to san francisco bay. oakland international airport. the vote followed several hours of debate, replacing oakland with the san francisco bay further disrespects oakland, its pro oakland. >> it is definitely not in any way denigrating the city that i'm so proud of, that i've been living in for 40 years. >> the port of oakland has scheduled a final vote for may 9th. the city of san francisco has threatened possible legal
5:39 am
action over the name change. and the debate continues. >> yes, and it will continue. >> yes it will. all right. right now we want to head over to steve paulson. we get some rain moving in tomorrow. >> correct? that is correct tomorrow. today is the transition day. it will be a much cooler pattern here. fog is ramping up, especially south of san francisco. upper low is on its way. pretty good for mid april. main message today is cooler santa rosa, redwood city, walnut creek, san jose down we go from 70s and 80s yesterday, 60s to 70s today. pretty good rain being advertised by some of the forecast models, i'll say. i mean it starts early. early overnight saturday. it starts to pick up saturday afternoon, especially evening goes into sunday, it looks like. but look at the amounts here. santa rosa, san rafael, oakland, napa, fairfield, concord and santa cruz all over an inch. not sure i buy that completely, but that's a sign of a pretty good little system, which is on its way. it will be from sunny and warm yesterday in the sierra to weekend of snow, likely with cooler and windy conditions as well. fog is trying to form
5:40 am
pretty fast here, mainly on the san mateo coast south, but i think it's a sign of things to come as this system inches closer 40s and 50s on your temps. pretty dynamic. little low for this time of year, and it will drop temps considerably as we go into the weekend, that's for sure. so from 80s to maybe even only upper 50s, as we had a couple of days ago to now just yesterday till i think tomorrow we will see temps drop a good 25, maybe 30 degrees possible thunderstorms. you get a low like this coming in this time of year. that could certainly generate some steep lapse rates. looks like more of a rain system than it does a snow system. there will be some up in the mountains. your snow forecast 1 to 5, maybe six. some of the higher elevations. but i mean not too bad for this time of year. they'll get a little bonus up there. friday changes some morning fog, but increasing clouds throughout the day. cooler and the breeze will pick up 50 to 60 to a few. holding on 70 for one more day. >> thank you. steve. california's new rules regarding solar panels are headed to the supreme court. coming up, why environmental activists are challenging the rules that limit
5:41 am
5:44 am
we want to go right back to frank mallicoat and traffic boy, a big issue this morning. yeah, this all happened shortly before 5:00 this morning. >> the big issue down at hayward . it's highway 80 southbound at 92 west. big rig, a double big rig. and the second half of that big rig is down on its side. and right now it's blocking all traffic 880 southbound. let's take a look at the map. as you can see right there near 92 and 880 southbound. and that is causing major, major issues. they are diverting traffic off at the whitten exit prior to the crash. cars are able to get off quickly and bypass the accident. but as you can imagine, a huge issue. we do have chp officer kylie musselman on the line out of hayward. officer good to have you with us. can you hear me? all right. kylie musselman, can
5:45 am
you hear us? with chp hayward. >> hi, frank. can you hear me? >> yeah, we got you now. thank you for standing by. what's the very latest? and when do you hope to have that thing upright? because as you can see on our map, traffic is backed up quite a ways. >> absolutely. we understand you and the public frustration. hopefully we can upright this one faster than the one yesterday. it is a smaller trailer with a wider roadway configuration, so the tow company has a little bit more room to work, we are waiting for the tow company to show up, and once they do, we will have a better estimated time of opening from them. >> do we know what was inside and do you have to offload any cargo out of that big rig? >> so both trailers were loaded with 15,000 pounds each of packages. it was a fedex truck that overturned. and, depending on what the tow company can do, we may not have to offload it.
5:46 am
but if we do, that's obviously going to take a little bit more time and how about diverting traffic now they're going off at winton. >> take us through that process if you can, well what happens? officers show up on scene. they set up the necessary flares and cones and things like that, safety is obviously our number one priority, and we're diverting all southbound traffic off at winton, obviously, if you know you're going to go through there, i would plan alternate routes. anything you can to avoid the area, because even though the diversion is happening, the narrow city streets. so traffic's going to build up. >> and once you get off at winton, how quickly do you get back on bypassing the accident? >> i mean, it just kind of depends. it depends on if people are going to continue taking southbound 880, or they're going to try to take city streets, i can't say for sure, but hopefully it's a pretty quick process. >> and more importantly, was anyone injured at all? and do we have any idea what happened?
5:47 am
>> no. thankfully we know that the driver of the semi truck was not injured, and we're not 100% sure how this crash in particular happens, but driving a truck that big, there's a there's a lot of factors that can play into a crash, speed, whether or things like that, especially with a double decker. >> it was towing a, what, another 20 foot portion of that truck that went down. well, hopefully you can get this cleaned up in a hurry, and i'm glad everyone is safe, that is officer, kylie musselman, chp hayward. thank you for your time. we appreciate it. okay, well, there's the very latest. you see what's happening southbound right now? 880 is shut down. they are diverting traffic, but it is a bit of a mess on what hopefully would have been a friday light. not so on 880. another update coming up at 6:00. our james torres still
5:48 am
trying to get down there. hopefully we can talk to james at the top of the hour. dave we'll send it back to you. >> okay frank, thanks for the update. time is 547. extra traps are being put out in santa clara county to catch a rare type of mosquito that can carry dangerous viruses. now, these traps are being set by vector control in bushes and other damp and cool areas along the foothills of east san jose. so far, six of these invasive mosquitoes have been captured, and the experts say the mosquitoes are aggressive and they're known for biting humans. it is a very concerning thing because the ada aegypti can transmit diseases like zika, chikungunya, yellow fever and dengue. >> well, i'm a little more concerned about this one because apparently it's out during the midday. right and not just dusk, dawn and dusk. so that's got me more concerned. >> and vector control officials don't know where these mosquitoes came from, but they're telling residents remove all standing water, including
5:49 am
emptied the dog bowls as well. very targeted spraying is already taking place, but wider efforts could take place if more of the mosquitoes turn up. >> santa clara county will hold a conference today on zoom to examine the challenges black women face before and after giving birth. a coalition of medical groups and county leaders hosted an event yesterday for black maternal health week. in 2020, california recorded its highest maternal mortality rate in ten years. county supervisor susan ellenberg says statistics show more needs to be done. >> 80% of pregnancy related deaths are preventable. we cannot accept the status quo. >> black women that are 3 to 4 times more likely to die during childbirth. black women in their 20s with promise, with hope standing before you already exhausted the maternal death rate for black women is more than double that of white women.
5:50 am
>> now you can watch that zoom conference starting at 930 this morning by going to our ktvu web links. the warriors are now in ninth place in the western conference standings. after a big win last night. the warriors won their third straight game last night to make it nine wins out of their last ten games. a lot of good shooting there. steph curry led the win with 22 points. the dubs came from behind to beat the trail blazers. here is the updated western conference standings. the sacramento kings are in eighth place. the warriors in ninth, followed by the los angeles lakers. all three teams have the same record, still two games left in the regular season, so the warriors can still improve their seeding. they play tonight and then sunday afternoon and we're going to be watching. yes, we will be. yeah they seem to be gelling i know. all right. just in time steve paulson is here, no rain tonight but cooler temperatures today, right? that is correct. >> that's correct. we'll go up to the mountains here because while we had 80 degree temps, they were springlike with 60s up
5:51 am
there. but it's going to continue right into the weekend, right? no, it's not now. today will be that transition day. but over the weekend much much cooler. some rain snow likely especially saturday evening saturday night. and the winds are already going to pick up later this evening because a lake wind advisory has already been posted. fog is trying to form pretty fast. it is on the san mateo coast and i think it's a sign of things to come here. 40s 50s on the temps probably won't change all that much. pretty deep. cold core low deep. when i mean strong and it's ushering in a significant change. first will be increasing clouds. so friday changes here. look for low clouds some sun in the morning. then increasing clouds turning cloudy. the wind will pick up and then clouding up. and then rain develops on saturday. probably some thunderstorms as well. and rainfall looks pretty good. half inch to inch and a half for us. this is more of a rain event than it is snow event, but the mountains will get a little bit. so if you're going up, today is the day to go. maybe early saturday because by saturday night, sunday i think you'll get some pretty good snow up there.

5:56 am
>> he somehow managed to get his car back without being hurt. however, the police always recommend you call the police instead of confronting thieves yourself. >> uber is offering more peace of mind for their riders with an update to its safety features. the rideshare company announced a new safety preference section, where riders can access all of the safety tools in one place. some of the new features include pin verification and in-app emergency button, and audio recording. uber says safety preferences are now available across the u.s, canada, and latin america. time is now 555. >> the center for asian american media has kicked off cam fest season. the executive director says many of the movies this year tackle a variety of tough issues that asian americans face. the people who take part in campus say not only has it served as a showcase, but also a support system and hub for asian american film and media makers, most of us really want to make an impact, especially within our
5:57 am

the generational and cultural impacts of the migration that started in the early 1900s. more than 6 million black americans moved from the south to other parts of the country. they were escaping the oppression of racism, jim crow laws, and pursuing better economic and educational opportunities. now we heard from anthony graham. he's the senior curator of the exhibit. >> all of the artists made brand new pieces that often began with really personal histories, thinking about their relationship to the great migration, their family's relationship to the great migration, and the ways that they and their families have moved, have stayed, and various relationships to space and place. and how that informs their lives. >> now you can get advance tickets now on the website of the berkeley art museum. the exhibit runs from this saturday the 13th through september 22nd. >> first fridays is returning to
5:59 am

6:00 am
defendant, it seems like almost yesterday, but almost 30 years later, it is still considered the trial of the century. we'll look closely at how the o.j. simpson trial affected the world after his death. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> well good morning. thank you for joining us. and welcome to mornings on two i'm dave clark. >> good morning i'm pam cook. friday april 12th. sounds like first fridays are safe from rain. let's check in with steve paulson. >> they are. rain is on the way for tomorrow. but cooler. some fog is already drifting by. this image here. coming up a few high clouds, but we'll get some sun in the morning here and then we'll see increasing clouds throughout the day. the main message here is cooler. cooler cooler, 40s on the temps to 50s on the temps. but the fog is rapidly increasing as that. i'd rather i'd call that a dynamic upper low for the middle of april, which won't swing in here until saturday afternoon evening, but the front and the
6:01 am
cloud cover out ahead of it and will be on the move today. so some sun in the morning. but there's a change in the weather, that's for sure. today coast fog increasing, cooler lows, some sun then increasing, clouds cooler and breezy. will clouded up by late tonight and then bring rain in a cold rain tomorrow. 60s 70s on the temps. all right. frank mallicoat is here and it's all about 880 in hayward. >> yeah, it is a bit of a mess down there in a big way. big accident shortly before 5:00. so a little over an hour ago, a big rig carrying package on its side, 880 south at 92 west, our triple a traffic map will tell you the story right there. you can see the huge backup in red. it goes all the way back to 580. and they are currently diverting traffic at winton exit. it could take hours to upright that truck. it was carrying packages. very very tough commute. and a guy that just went through it, our very own james torres, who is live at the scene with the very latest james, take it away, frank. >> good morning to you. well, yeah, we finally got here. a
6:02 am
trip that would normally take maybe ten, 15 minutes. took us nearly 45 to actually get out here to the scene. and this is what we're looking at. a bit of good news for you this morning. they do have two lanes of traffic passing through the accident at this point. so if you are making your way this way, you don't totally have to rely on some of those alternative directions. although it probably still is a better idea because traffic certainly is backed up at this point here. but you can see what happened. and here's what chp has told us so far. this big rig was driving down here southbound, 880 at one point, got caught off the right hand shoulder over adjusted, overcorrected, ended up going through all lanes of traffic here and smashing into that center divide. at first, chp officers were a little worried that this big rig had maybe sideswiped some other cars. but they say at this point no other injuries, no other cars involved. that's the good news. at this point. they say the driver is cooperating with them, talking with them perfectly. okay. after all this, the most damage we see is to the front of
6:03 am
that truck and of course, the overturned trailer at this point here at the start of all of this chp first told us that this had shut down all lanes southbound here on 880. and that was probably the case at some point here. but this is why we have live reporters who come out to the scene here, because with our own eyes, with our own report here, we can tell you two lanes of traffic are now moving through slowly. now how long until the entire freeway on this side reopens? that is still a question to be answered. we are still waiting for caltrans crews to come out here and assess just how long it will take them to clean up the damage. we're still waiting for tow trucks to come out here and upright what's been turned over and remove the truck from the scene here. i spoke to a chp sergeant just a few minutes ago. he says all of that is in the works right now, but there's still no telling exactly how soon all lanes of traffic on southbound 880 will reopen. of course, we'll let you know when that happens. we're live this morning near hayward. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> okay, james. thank you. time

6:21 am
you're seeing some one inch plus amounts being advertised. fairfield, napa oakland, concord. not sure i buy that for concord, but san rafael, santa rosa and no doubt santa cruz and ben lomond. so i mean, if santa rosa gets an inch cazadero is looking at two. if san rafael gets an inch, mount tamalpais an inch and a half to two, which is quite the heck of a system there for mid-april, thursday, up in the mountains, sunny skies, warm 60s. same here. the weekend. big change. snow likely. cooler, windy. lake advisory starts tonight as well for anticipation of that win. 50s for most, some 40s but mainly 50s on the temps. upper 40s. low 50s again a cold core system swinging in and that will eventually arrive. but it's not going to really move over us till late saturday overnight into early sunday. and this low is going to give us increasing low and high clouds. the wind will pick up and possible thunderstorms any time you get a low of this. of this what we call you know well strength for april, it could easily trigger some thunderstorm activity. a lot of rain for us. some snow. 1
6:22 am
to 5in is being forecast here on the amount. so a six inches at kirkwood. so i'll buy into that. looks good. but friday changes no doubt. some morning fog increasing sun. but increasing high clouds turning cloudy later today. it's the big news though, as the temps are coming down 5060s on those highs. i would plan on rain tomorrow. if you're traveling, it looks rather cloudy and much cooler to the north, but if you're going south, one more nice day and then they'll get that system coming in saturday night into sunday. 90 in palm springs today. how about that for us? rain and colder on saturday. showers sunday, then slowly improving early next week. >> okay thank you steve. charges filed against the former interpreter of dodgers star shohei ohtani. what investigators say they've cleared. why they say they have cleared the pitcher of any wrongdoing and fighting back against blight. what san jose is do g to clean p

6:32 am
here as well trying to get this truck out of the way, clean it all up so it's all safe enough for all the cars to pass through that need to pass through here. right now, you see two lanes of traffic that are flowing through there, about to open another lane. as soon as they can push this overturned trailer kind of over to the side closer to where we are, to give them a little bit more space to get some of these cars flowing through. you see some of the guys who are out here in those neon colored suits who are looking to safely get this all out of the way. they're loading it up onto a tow truck right now. this car, this the cab of this truck was actually smashed into the center divide. they were able to push that back a little bit so they can get some of those cables and wires hooked up here. had a chance to talk to a sergeant with chp who kind of told us what the next steps are and getting this freeway back open. >> once the vehicle is uprighted , we'll have the sweepers come in and clean up any debris that's left in the roadway, and
6:33 am
we'll open it up for traffic to move south. >> how unlucky is this that we kind of had a similar thing yesterday around the same area. >> i know they say bad things happen in threes, but i hope two is just enough. >> yeah, hopefully two is just enough. it is friday after all. so we hope that this is the end of some of those major traffic accidents. but good news here. no one was hurt as a result of this. no other cars were impacted as a result of this. it was just this one large tractor trailer ended up losing control on the right hand shoulder coming down southbound. 880 at some point kind of overcorrected , cross all lanes of traffic with no one else on the roadway. ended up smashing into the center divide and then that back trailer ended up turning over. and that is the situation we have that you see here. so the tow truck crews there on the scene right now, they are still working to get, get the trailer, the truck loaded up so they can get this all removed and get this cleared so the traffic can be moving with all lanes open here, chp has not given us an exact time for when they expect
6:34 am
the freeway to open back up. but given how much progress they're, making in just the last half hour, it seems like it might be a lot sooner than we expect. but of course, we'll let you know exactly when that happens. for now, to talk about how to navigate some of these routes and take a look at some of the traffic elsewhere. frank mallicoat is in the traffic center with a lot more of what you need to know before you head out the door today. >> hey james, quick question. nobody injured and the driver is okay, right? >> that's what we're told. we know the driver immediately stepped out of the car, reported the accident, spoke with chp officers. and, as far as that, sergeant tells me that driver is totally okay. >> okay, well, that's good news. all right. and as james mentioned, second straight day, we've had issues in that area. we had another big rig overturned 880 yesterday which caused issues with the commute. give you an idea of where it is. and the backup are triple a traveling maps here our traffic maps. and despite that having those two lanes open, you can see the gridlock all the way up
6:35 am
to 580 westbound there in the red, we are told they are taking some cars off at whitten street exit prior to the accident, but we're also told the city streets are mighty crowded. a lot of people trying to find alternative ways. i think the best bet is just to avoid that area at all costs, as for the rest of the commute, it's incident free across the bay area, but your typical commute into san francisco? this is not friday. light metering lights are on at the span's going to take a good 2020 five minutes to get through the toll plaza, and into the city. a busy day in traffic, and it's friday, so that all important forecast for the weekend. and here's steve standing by with that. good morning. good morning. >> thank you sir. well we'll do some sound effects here. there it is. fog. look at that fog. just racing in. my goodness, there was not a lot there a couple hours ago. there is now.
6:36 am
it is really cranking up here. so low clouds are on the move big time here. temperatures will drop a good 15 degrees for some today. upper low won't arrive until saturday evening, but clouds will be on the move today. i think rain saturday morning and temps will plunge into the 50s tomorrow as well, but not only with the low cloud deck. the onshore wind will crank up as well, so there's a change in the weather. that would be the kinks by the way, coast fog increasing, cooler lows, some sun, then clouds, cooler, breezy to windy. and that means 60s. maybe a couple of low 70s, but mainly 60s and much cooler. all right, back to dave and pam. thank you. >> steve. the port of oakland has voted to approve the plan to change the name of the city's airport enthusiastically to i seven eyes. >> the motion carries. >> thank you. >> the port's board of commissioners unanimously voted to move ahead with the plan to rebrand oakland international airport to san francisco bay. oakland international airport. the vote followed several hours of debate, replacing oakland with the san francisco bay
